Every year, before the rainy season, people in “aquaculture barns” such as Chuon lagoon, coastal communes of Phu Vang, Phu Loc, Phong Dien, Huong Tra, Hue city regularly inspects their ponds and cages to harvest fish and shrimp to avoid damage caused by storms and floods.

Those who have visited Hue without experiencing the Hue rain are considered to be missing out on the full Hue experience. Autumn in Hue not only has dreamy light golden sun rays but also has sudden torrential rains with a poetic translucent silver color.

On the morning of August 12, the Community Fund for Natural Disaster Prevention collaborated with Thien Tam Fund to organize the ceremony of acceptance and handing over the automatic rain gauge stations for early warning of floods in the Northern, Central, and Central Highlands provinces in 2022.

The azadirachta indica tree by An Cuu River this morning is in bloom with purple flowers. A few days ago, the leaf canopy was still green, but early morning today, in the sprinkling rain, the "purple clouds" have unexpectedly appeared on top of the branches.

After long rain, when the cold is still lingering in the wind, green moss has grown on rocky beaches and concrete embankments along the coast of Thuan An and Hai Duong... In an afternoon of golden sunlightin spring, I went to the sea, sitting by the green algae, listening to the sea waves whispering by the rocky shore and I had a strange feeling at easy.

Not many people have noticed a special thing in this winter in Hue: For the first time ever, in the rainfall updates of the Provincial Commanding Committee for Disaster Prevention and Search & Rescue appears a very strange place, which is Quan Tuong Dai (the Imperial Observatory) in Hue Imperial City. The three words “Quan Tuong Dai” being read out on a rainy day sounds melancholy as if old friends saw each other once again after such a long time.

The rainy and cold weather is making traveling a bit inconvenient. Therefore, choosing a place for the weekend’s breakfast and coffee that is both cozy and ensuring epidemic prevention and control, is a reasonable choice.

Hue is naturally a peaceful, pensive city by being immersed in ancient features for many generations. However, have you ever imagined about a sad but gorgeous Hue on rainy days?
